American Red Cross to Receive $1 million in Assistance
ExxonMobil
continues to work to support distribution of gasoline and fuel
throughout the area affected by Hurricane Sandy and is donating $1
million to the American Red Cross for disaster relief assistance in New
York, New Jersey and the Caribbean.
'Hurricane Sandy has had a devastating impact on people and communities
along the east coast and in the Caribbean,? said Andrew W. Madden, vice
president of supply and transportation, ExxonMobil Refining & Supply
Company. 'It′s our hope that ExxonMobil′s donation to the Red Cross will
help provide comfort to those affected and help people rebuild their
lives as quickly as possible.?
ExxonMobil′s three terminals in Massachusetts and Rhode Island are
operating normally and the company does not own or operate any gas
stations, fuel terminals or refineries in the impacted areas. ExxonMobil
has been working with distributors, suppliers and local, state and
federal agencies to re-establish the fuel supply infrastructure,
including:
Shipping additional fuel supplies from the U.S. Gulf Coast and Canada
into the Northeast.
Working with its distributors to secure additional fuel delivery
trucks from other locations to help get fuel to service stations.
Helping distributors secure additional fuel sources for independently
owned Exxon and Mobil-branded stations as well as other stations in
the area.
An ExxonMobil Fuel Finder mobile
application and station
locator website has been updated to notify consumers which
independently owned Exxon and Mobil stations in the New York and New
Jersey metro area have electricity and may be operating.
